Morgan was originally founded in London in 1856 by the Morgan brothers as the Patent Lead Pot and Crucible Company. In the early 20 century, Morgan diversified its product range and developed a series of carbon brushes for the rapidly growing electrical industry. This laid the foundation for the Carbon Division, which quickly evolved into a global supplier of custom application solutions, providing businesses with carbon, graphite, silicon carbide, oxide ceramics, and related advanced materials. The Electrical Materials business unit of Morgan produces a wide variety of products, including carbon brushes and related components, body armor, graphite powder for the synthetic diamond industry, and carbon technology solutions for the aerospace and space exploration sectors. Over the past century, the Carbon Division has grown from its factory in Battersea to 35 manufacturing plants across five continents. Morgan is now a modern carbon enterprise, creating innovative, market-leading products, systems, and solutions for a broad range of global markets. Morgan focuses on producing a range of market-leading carbon brushes and current collectors for applications in traction, wind energy, mining, aerospace, and electric vehicles.
